Item 2.   Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition  and
        Results of Operations

General

Southwest  Oil  &  Gas Income Fund X-A, L.P. was organized  as  a  Delaware
limited  partnership  on  January 29, 1990. The offering  of  such  limited
partnership  interests began on May 11, 1990 as part of  a  shelf  offering
registered  under  the  name Southwest Oil & Gas  1990-91  Income  Program.
Minimum  capital requirements for the Partnership were met  on  August  15,
1990,  with  the  offering of limited partnership interests  concluding  on
November 30, 1990, with total limited partner contributions of $5,242,000.

The  Partnership was formed to acquire interests in producing oil  and  gas
properties,  to produce and market crude oil and natural gas produced  from
such properties, and to distribute the net proceeds from operations to  the
limited  and  general partners.  Net revenues from producing  oil  and  gas
properties will not be reinvested in other revenue producing assets  except
to the extent that production facilities and wells are improved or reworked
or  where methods are employed to improve or enable more efficient recovery
of oil and gas reserves.

Increases   or   decreases   in  Partnership   revenues   and,   therefore,
distributions  to partners will depend primarily on changes in  the  prices
received  for  production,  changes in volumes of  production  sold,  lease
operating  expenses, enhanced recovery projects, offset drilling activities
pursuant  to farm-out arrangements, sales of properties, and the  depletion
of  wells.   Since  wells deplete over time, production  can  generally  be
expected to decline from year to year.

Well  operating costs and general and administrative costs usually decrease
with   production   declines;  however,  these  costs  may   not   decrease
proportionately.  Net income available for distribution to the partners  is
therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these factors.

Based  on  current  conditions, management anticipates participating  in  a
farmout  agreement and performing workovers during the next  two  years  to
enhance production.  The Partnership may undergo an increase later in  1997
and   possibly  in  1998.   Thereafter,  the  Partnership  could   possibly
experience a normal decline of 8% to 10% per year.

Number of limited partner units               10,484    10,484


Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $133,671 from $182,348
for  the  quarters  ended  September 30, 1997  and  1996,  respectively,  a
decrease  of  27%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison  of  the
quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as  compared  to
    the  quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 by 17%, or  $3.64  per  barrel,
    resulting  in  a  decrease of approximately $28,800 in  revenues.   Oil
    sales  represented  84% of total oil and gas sales during  the  quarter
    ended  September 30, 1997 as compared to 91% during the  quarter  ended
    September 30, 1996.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the same period by 30%, or $.65 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $5,100 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $23,700.  The market price
    for  oil  and gas has been extremely volatile over the past decade  and
    management  expects a certain amount of volatility to continue  in  the
    foreseeable future.

2. Oil  production decreased approximately 1,400 barrels or 18% during  the
   quarter  ended  September  30, 1997 as compared  to  the  quarter  ended
   September 30, 1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $24,200  in
   revenues.

    Gas  production decreased approximately 200 mcf or 3% during  the  same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $600 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately  $24,800.   The decrease in oil production  is  primarily
    attributable  to  a farm-out agreement which lowered the  Partnership's
    interest in the Ballard Grayburg San Andres Unit.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and  expenses decreased to $111,681  from  $163,210  for  the
quarters  ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively,  a  decrease  of
32%.   The  decrease is the result of lower lease operating costs,  general
and administrative expense and depletion expense.

1.    Lease  operating  costs  and production  taxes  were  29%  lower,  or
   approximately $34,600 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
   compared  to  the  quarter ended September 30, 1996.   The  decrease  in
   primarily  attributable  to  a  farm-out  agreement  which  lowered  the
   Partnership's interest in the Ballard Grayburg San Andres Unit.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting  and
    engineering  fees,  computer services, postage,  and  Managing  General
    Partner  personnel costs.    General and administrative costs decreased
    5% or approximately $900 during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion  expense decreased to $9,000 for the quarter ended  September
    30,  1997 from $25,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents  a
    decrease  of 64%.  Depletion is calculated using the units  of  revenue
    method  of  amortization based on a percentage of current period  gross
    revenues  to  total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated  by
    the  Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.  Two contributing
    factors  to  the  decline in depletion expense between the  comparative
    periods  were  the increase in the price of oil used to  determine  the
    Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to 1996 and  the
    decline in gross oil and gas revenues.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $420,055 from $611,603
for  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  a
decrease  of  31%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison  of  the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as  compared
    to  the nine months ended September 30, 1996 by 5%, or $.91 per barrel,
    resulting  in  a  decrease of approximately $26,800 in  revenues.   Oil
    sales represented 86% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months
    ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to 91% during  the  nine  months
    ended September 30, 1996.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the same period by 9%, or $.23 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $5,100 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $21,700.  The market price
    for  oil  and gas has been extremely volatile over the past decade  and
    management  expects a certain amount of volatility to continue  in  the
    foreseeable future.

<PAGE>

2.  Oil  production decreased approximately 9,500 barrels or 32% during the
    nine  months  ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the  nine  months
    ended  September  30,  1996, resulting in a decrease  of  approximately
    $171,600 in revenues.

    Gas  production increased approximately 600 mcf or 3% during  the  same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $1,500 in revenues.

    The  net total decrease in revenues due to the change in production  is
    approximately  $170,100.   The decrease is  primarily  attributable  to
    eleven  months of revenue, on one lease, being held in suspense  during
    litigation between the lease's third party operator, the pumper and the
    Managing  General  Partner.  Upon conclusion  of  the  litigation,  all
    revenues, approximately 5,900 barrels of oil, were released during  the
    first  quarter of 1996.  Also contributing to the decline is a farm-out
    agreement,  which  lowered the Partnership's interest  in  the  Ballard
    Grayburg San Andres Unit.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses decreased to $377,001 from $544,023 for the  nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of  31%.
The  decrease  is  the result of lower lease operating costs,  general  and
administrative expense and depletion expense.

1.  Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  28%  lower,   or
    approximately $111,600 less during the nine months ended September  30,
    1997  as  compared to the nine months ended September  30,  1996.   The
    decrease   is   primarily   attributable   to   litigation   costs   of
    approximately $56,000 incurred during the first quarter of 1996  and  a
    farm-out  agreement  which lowered the Partnership's  interest  in  the
    Ballard Grayburg San Andres Unit.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting  and
    engineering  fees,  computer services, postage,  and  Managing  General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs decreased 1%
    or  approximately $400 during the nine months ended September 30,  1997
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion  expense  decreased to $29,000  for  the  nine  months  ended
    September  30,  1997 from $84,000 for the same period  in  1996.   This
    represents a decrease of 65%.  Depletion is calculated using the  units
    of  revenue  method  of amortization based on a percentage  of  current
    period  gross  revenues to total future gross oil and gas revenues,  as
    estimated by the Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.   Two
    contributing  factors to the decline in depletion expense  between  the
    comparative  periods  were the increase in the price  of  oil  used  to
    determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to
    1996 and the decline in gross oil and gas revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income  from
interests in oil and gas properties.  The Partnership knows of no  material
change, nor does it anticipate any such change.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $133,600  in
the  nine  months  ended  September 30, 1997 as compared  to  approximately
$89,600 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The primary source of
the 1997 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by or (used in) investing activities were approximately
$5,900  in  the  nine  months  ended September  30,  1997  as  compared  to
approximately  ($9,500) in the nine months ended September 30,  1996.   The
principle  source of the 1997 cash flow from investing activities  was  the
change in oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $143,000 in  the
nine  months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $105,200
in  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1996.  The only use in  financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total  distributions during the nine months ended September 30,  1997  were
$143,000  of  which  $128,700 was distributed to the limited  partners  and
$14,300  to  the  general partners.  The per unit distribution  to  limited
partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $12.28.  Total
distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $105,000
of which $94,500 was distributed to the limited partners and $10,500 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $9.01.

The  sources  for  the  1997 distributions of $143,000  were  oil  and  gas
operations  of  approximately  $133,600 and  the  change  in  oil  and  gas
properties of approximately $5,900, with the balance of available  cash  on
hand at the beginning of the period.  The source for the 1996 distributions
of  $105,000 was oil and gas operations of approximately $89,600, partially
offset  by  the  change in oil and gas properties of approximately  $9,500,
with  the  balance  from available cash on hand at  the  beginning  of  the
period.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $2,631,906 have been made to the partners.  As of September  30,  1997,
$2,419,184 or $230.75 per limited partner unit has been distributed to  the
limited partners, representing a 46% return of the capital contributed.

As  of  September  30, 1997, the Partnership had approximately  $51,200  in
working  capital.   The  Managing  General  Partner  knows  of  no  unusual
contractual commitments and believes the revenues generated from operations
are adequate to meet the needs of the Partnership.
